Captain
Emilio Solis

Member since June 2020 South Padre Island, United States
Background
Captain Emilio has spent more than half of his life on the water in some form or another. Surfing, wade fishing, bank fishing, surf fishing, bay fishing, as well as offshore fishing, he likes it all. Fishing is just something he's done naturally since an early age.
Techniques
Captain Emilio's style and technique depend on the targeted fish. Fishing for Red Snapper with live bait is almost a certain success. Trolling lures behind a boat offshore is a sure way to catch big game fish.
